Formed in 2013 at the Royal Northern College of Music, A4 Brass Quartet comprises principal players from some of the UK’s top brass bands, including Grimethorpe Colliery, Brighouse & Rastrick and Foden’s

With ‘technical virtuosity in abundance’ (Brass Band World), these four astonishing musicians come together to perform both lyrical and high-octane works, forming a distinctive and new take on chamber music. The Quartet has a unique blend of instruments, with a cornet, tenor horn, baritone and euphonium creating an exclusive sound that stands out from the standard brass quartet.

‘The young quartet taking the brass world by storm. What really struck me…was the incredible precision displayed by the ensemble throughout…There’s technical virtuosity in abundance, with energy and precision.’
